The world is a big dog town

If killing is also a form of redemption, how can we escape Dogtown?
Hitler said that the purpose of killing the Jews was to optimize the race. It sounds very scary, but when I think about it, I have never thought of a similar idea in my mind. Many times I see a certain type of people who will have the idea of ​​killing them all. I think that only if these people are dead, will human beings continue to evolve. Face the problem with no fear. It seems that many countries do not have the death penalty. I think this is too bastard. Some people should be killed, they must. But the killing, in the end, is the redemption of these people themselves or the redemption of other people living in the world. Killing criminals and killing people of bad breeds don't sound like the same thing. There must be some people who say that there are people with bad breeds, and even if there are, they are not committing crimes. So what we have to do is wait for the people who might have committed the crime to commit the crime and then execute it. Does this give them a chance? It's all human nature. At the end of the film, when I saw those people were killed, without sympathy and entanglement, I felt the thrill.
People are like this, always complaining about society and human nature, but everyone is an individual who constitutes a society, and also has the dark side of that human nature. No matter where we flee, we still live in dog towns, because we are dogs ourselves.

    Even if you do the same evil under the same conditions, it doesn't mean that the sin can be forgiven.

    The most arrogant film I have ever seen.

Dogville quotes

  • Grace: I think the world would be better without Dogville.

  • Grace: What? What is it?

    Tom: A man can't really be blamed for being scared, now can he?

    Grace: No.

    Tom: No. I was scared, Grace. I used you and I am sorry. I'm stupid, I am, maybe even arrogant sometimes.

    Grace: You are, Tom.

    Tom: Although using people is not very charming, I think you have to agree that this - specific illustration has surpassed all expectations. It says so much about being human! It's been painful, but I think you'll also have to agree it's been edifying, wouldn't you say?

    Grace: Not now, Tom. Not now.

    [Grace walks away and reenters The Big Man's car]

    Grace: If there is any town this world would be better without, this is it.
